Juice

The polytunnel is still chucking out those cucumbers - I collected 13 last week! And they are as long as my arm. It's taking me so long to get through them that their now turning a little old. Seeds inside are a bit big, skin is tough etc - BUT they are great for juicing. Mind, one cucumber is a heck of a lot of juice.

I am NOT drinking courgette juice anymore it was making me nauseous, just thinking about it is making me cringe.
So now in the mornings (or whenever I feel like it) - I drink a shot of my own grown wheatgrass - which is very good, and then 1 cucumber with one orange. As soon as the cucumbers run out I think I'll transition into Kale juice because I've planted a HECK of a lot of kale plants (which are being destroyed by caterpillars) for that reason. But I am nervous, cucumber is pleasant - kale is - well, cabbagey and green and difficult to drink. But hopefully an orange, or an apple or even carrots from the garden will help it go down.

I would like to ideally eat the way Natalia Rose describes in her RAw Food book - eating light to heavy. Start with juice - then next meal is fruit, then next meal is veg and if you need to eat cooked then make it your last meal - but I just can't seem to stick to that although it sounds so simple. By the time lunch time comes i want heavy food loaded with fat hehe, not just fruit. But there we go!
Luckily I got loads of tomatoes from the glasshouse at the moment, and I'm loving them cut up with mixed seed and bean sprouts and tahini, raisins and vinegar. Fatty and sweet- what's better? :)
